My boyfriend and I want to have sex, but I keep saying no and holding off because I am so worried and paranoid about getting pregnant. For the first time I agreed that he didn't have to use a condom even though I know he should. But for the times after, I'm making sure he does. Since he's not going to, I wanna go on the pills. But my Mom won't let me, because she'll freak if I ever ask. I have asked to go on this one birth control before my boyfriend and I were even dating to help cramps, not for sex. And she said no because I was too young. So, I don't know how to get them? And which ones should I get if I ever get the chance? Any more information could really help.
Many local health departments offer clinics to young women and can help you get on the pill and keep it confidential from your parents. However, since I am assuming you are still in high school, you must know that in many girls your age the pill is not 99% effective as it says. These are questions you need to ask at the health department if you go. Also check Planned Parenthood. I have listed the link below to see where there is one close to you.

That being said, if you go to your local Planned Parenthood they will examine you and give you birth control pills. They usually determine the cost based on a sliding scale based on the amount of money you make and since it seems you are still young it should be relatively inexpensive.
